This well-known Israeli-American once served as her country’s first Envoy for combating antisemitism (Jewish Racism). While Noa Tishby no longer holds that official role, her advocacy for her homeland continues, especially after the harrowing events of October 7th. On that day, Hamas carried out one of the most brutal attacks in recent history, involving the beheading of babies, the burning of entire families alive, and the horrific killing of a pregnant woman and her unborn child. Tishby is no stranger to the fight against anti-Jewish hatred, and that hatred has only risen since the Israel-Hamas war began.
The Surge in Antisemitic Incidents
Following the October 7th Hamas attack, there has been a significant spike in antisemitic incidents across the U.S. Cases of harassment, vandalism, and assault have jumped by almost 400%. Tishby recently told the Friends of the Israel Defense Forces that underlying messaging paved the way for the Hamas attack. She emphasized that the ongoing grooming of Western civilization through universities, the media, and social media has created an atmosphere where many in the West would celebrate or justify such acts of genocide, blurring the lines between good and evil.
The Impact on American Youth
Pro-Palestinian protests have erupted worldwide, particularly on college campuses and in major cities. Protesters have gone as far as ripping down posters of Jewish hostages still held captive by Hamas. Tishby finds it horrifying how American youth have been brainwashed to the extent that they believe tearing down a photo of a kidnapped child is justified. She argues that while it is acceptable to disagree with Israeli policies or dislike the government, there is no excuse for supporting acts of kidnapping, rape, or murder.
The Disguise of Antisemitism (Jewish Racism) as Anti-Zionism
In September, Tishby reached out through the renowned entertainment magazine Variety to write about the dangers of antisemitism (Jewish Racism) masquerading as anti-Zionism. She explained that the movement for the self-determination and statehood of the Jewish people in their ancestral homeland is often met with obsessive hatred towards Israel, which is nothing but antisemitism (Jewish Racism) in disguise. Tishby condemns the phrase “From the River to the Sea,” a rallying cry at many pro-Palestinian demonstrations, explaining that it means ethnically cleansing the Jews from their ancestral land.
The Reality of Gaza and Hamas
Tishby also pushes back against those trying to equate the events of October 7th with Israel’s military campaign in Gaza. She condemns Hamas for hiding behind innocent Palestinians, effectively turning Gaza into a terrorist base and using its people as human shields. According to Tishby, Hamas’s leaders hide underground while they aim to maximize casualties among Palestinians, placing the blood squarely on Hamas’s hands.
A Wake-Up Call for the World
Tishby warns that this entire moment should be seen as a wake-up call to other countries. The rise in antisemitic incidents and the brutal tactics of Hamas highlight the urgent need for global awareness and action against such hatred. Tishby’s relentless advocacy serves as a reminder of the importance of standing against antisemitism (Jewish Racism) and supporting the rights and safety of Jewish people worldwide. In conclusion, Noa Tishby’s unwavering commitment to combating antisemitism (Jewish Racism) and advocating for Israel remains as strong as ever. Her efforts to educate and raise awareness about the dangers of antisemitism (Jewish Racism), disguised as anti-Zionism, are crucial in today’s world. As she continues to speak out against hatred and violence, Tishby exemplifies the resilience and determination needed to fight for justice and peace.
